Always format numbers with a thousands seperator

Hello,

Question: Is there any way I can tell BI to "always" format numbers with a thousands seperator?

I keep having to manually format every number to use a thousands seperator.  I thought by setting my local to English (United Kindgom) as shown would do the trick, but evidentally not.

Hi, @michellepace 

 

You can try to change the format in model properties.

@michellepace , I doubt global setting. But in Data model view, you can select more then one column or measure and change it in one go
